Boosie Badazz never holds back from voicing his disdain for those who don’t abide by the standards of “traditional masculinity,” and he has now made an entire song about it.
On Wednesday (June 19), the Louisiana native took to social media to share that his next album will go live on June 25. In conjunction with the announcement, he also posted an extract from an unreleased song that will presumably be on the new record.

“Rapper paint they nails and told, ‘That’s what women do’/ Playing gay so ya’ll support em,’ they pimpin’ you/ So really ya’ll get played for change, supporting people who don’t even know your pain,” he can be heard rapping in the video.
“How can a real woman lay up in a bed with a man who got nails like her?/ Wear a fuckin’ purse like her, but not bleeding on the 1st like her?”

The Baton Rouge MC has previously made one questionable comment after another about queer people, yet his exact stance on the community remains unclear given the range of things he’s said. The Southern rapper, who has repeatedly fought accusations of homophobia in the past, said that he trusts gay people with his money more than “regular” people last year.
During an appearance on Math Hoffa’s My Expert Opinion podcast in 2023, he talked about how he’s never been afraid to use his platform to speak about things that he feels are right or wrong, and that he doesn’t care what people think about it.
“Everybody who speak the truth, they try to make you seem crazy,” he said. “Anything I speak on, I feel deeply that way. Everything I speak, I stand on it. It’s just that the world took it out of context, and said that I have something against those people, when I don’t.
“People have to understand that it’s not the same stroke for the same folk. My fuckin’ assistant manager is gay as fuck. Like, bruh. I don’t know where people get that from. He understands me. He know I don’t have any ill will towards those people. He deals with money. He deals with business. It ain’t never looked at like that. I trust gay people more than I trust regular people.”

Back in 2021, one of the people who was deeply upset by Boosie’s comments was Lil Nas X’s father, who went in on the “Wipe Me Down” rapper over what he felt were discriminatory jabs toward his son.
“How the hell you’re a gangsta rapper promoting drugs, gun violence, degrading women and getting high every video talking about you’re for the kids man sit your old man looking ass down,” he wrote on Instagram at the time. “The game has past you. We real Bankhead over here. Not like the guy who claims it.”
